Does he seem interested in me? Should I Wait For Him?

I'm 19 & there is a 22 year old guy I've been talking to since Nov 2008 and we've only hung out one time.

When we did I made the IDIOT mistake of having sex with him in hopes of him liking me more I guess. Well I haven't done anything with him or anyone since then and he texts me almost daily. He always initiates the texts too.

When we text it's always friendly and a little flirty. In Dec 2008 I told him that I like him and that I don't just have sex with guys and that basically I'm not a whore.

He replied with "I don't think you're a whore at all. I'm flattered but I'm not interested in a relationship at all as of right now. But you're a very nice girl."

It was understandable because he got out of a 2 year relationship in Oct 2008 where he was used and hurt. I felt rejected and left him alone, but he always texts me or messages me on myspace.

He’s never asked me if I want to spend time with him or anything. Finally I brought up hanging out sometime since it seemed like he wasn’t going to ask. He said that we can for sure the next time he's off, because he works quite a bit.

Does it seem like he likes me as more than just a friend? Should I wait for him to be ready for a relationship, or should I just move on?

I feel like if I wait then he will see I'm worth it because I waited for him. He's a nice and respectful guy and I know he isn't interested in just sex with me because he never mentions or implies it. When we text he tries to impress me at times and likes sharing his interests with me.

I really do like him and I don’t know if I should move on because I’ve waited 5 months for this guy. Maybe it would be worth it to hold on longer and remain patient?

Sorry it’s such a long question, I’m totally confused.
